Resume

The issues of cross-border ecological security are outlined. The notion of regional cross-border ecological security is explained as the absence from the side of neighbouring country’s territory of the threats of ecological nature for the health of population and the activity of territorial communities of the region adjacent to the border. The authors propose the structural scheme of regional ecological security factors. Special attention is paid to the peculiarities of cross-border factor influence on the achievement of ecological security in bordering regions. The conclusion is made that the issues of decreasing the anthropogenic pressure on the environment and of achievement of the ecological security level corresponding to the neighbours’ parameters are more than urgent. Implementation of such tasks requires the complex solution in the single cross-border system of ecologic security. Its structure should encompass four basic blocks: legislative-targeted block; block on development of decisions over maintenance of ecological security; block on ecological security monitoring and block on decisions implementation results control. The blocks in their turn are differentiated into the elements that are related to each other. The possibilities for the Western cross-border regions of Ukraine that emerge due to excess to European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) and its cross-border cooperation programs for 2014-2020 are stressed.
